too bad... For me i only pump ron95 on my car,and can use ron95 to claim with office, if use ron97 will be rejected...

For me with around rm500 per month fuel costs, its much better to get a card that will save $$ on fuel then others. Not to mention toll... With great fuel comes great toll fees...

PBB Now is offering again 8% for 4 months.. very fake la they all... Esso also..Really "Smart", where "WE ARE DRIVERS too, we know you wanna MORE rebates on top of our luxurious 1.5% Rebates >.<"

and get RM20 as well for new customers after spending of RM400

BUT, Luckily current owners can still enjoy 8% *Highest TIER*, where it will be quite good for high fuel spenders, capped at RM80 Per month... smile.gif

PUMP ESSO now hahahaha~

New Updates on June

I think Due to the Massive ppl pumping Esso, they decided to change their Tactics on RM15 Fuel = 1k points >.<


Instant rewards

RM10 worth of Synergy fuel
950 Smiles Points

RM20 worth of Synergy fuel
1,600 Smiles Points

RM45 worth of Synergy fuel
3,000 Smiles Points

Now they make it so expensive.. to change a Rm15- 1k points, you will need a total of 3k points.

Yes, for those High Spenders, are not affected, but those who pump kancil that is around RM100 per month will be Highly affected, how long only can claim that RM45 >.<

SOS. Source

Bro, this is a NEWly stated Redemption smile.gif

yr Form is no longer applicable.

When you go to the ESSO, you try ask again for 1k - Rm15, confirm they will just tell you, Sudah Tukar or some stuffs like that biggrin.gif

IF really depreciate, Shout hardly lu..

Based on what i've see, why they changed the points is because... motorcyclist Pumps around RM20 per week, RM80 Per month, and only can get around 1k point per year. So If 1k = RM15, they will be happy, and it will be a LOT of redemption going on for motorists.

But if set to 3k - RM45, motorcyclist will take UP to 3 years, and EVEN if they Achieve the 3k, it is IMPOSSIBLE to feed the motorcycle With RM45.. Except SuperBike... But if SuperBike, it doesn't apply on my Theory, more towards those with kawasaki / Kap-Chai's smile.gif

It also Indirectly Affects the low petrol consumption owners on point's savings (those who uses less then RM60 per week, RM240 per month, and RM2880 per year.. With approximate calculation, They also can't Hit 3k Points in a Month, and EVEN if they do..To Pump RM45 Per month Would be harsh for them smile.gif


what i scare is later 5000 = RM75, and that will be HARSH for those who everytime pumps lesser then RM60... or small cars like kancil and Kelisa would be Forced to claim EITHER the lower points, or Take on Ron97 to fully utilize the RM75... >.<

Nevertheless, i believe @ this point of time, If the Smarts 1% cashback + 5% petrol cashback from UOB One Card is still valid, + BHP 0.9% Cashback = 6.9% Cash Rebate. This would be good for those who pump More on Weekday's basis. (Compared to 5% uob + 1.5% Esso Points, But Lower then AMEX 2.5% point + 5% cash rebate + 1.5% esso points)

Just that caps are on RM60 for UOB card... >.<

keep your OCBC for other thing's else if you are not utilizing it for fuel smile.gif

Oh boss cannot.

MOST Essos (NKVE / Kesas / Elite / Jejantas's ) Don't accept AMEX Indoors, Heck even a Hell in Esso @ Klang Westport ( Riiiggghtttt in Esso) also don't accept AMEX @ Counter... >.<

So mostly are required to swipe @ the terminal Instead of the counter

What i hate is these few months, After Pre-set @ Pump, and after C.C Approval, then when i insert Smiles, Tarik Balik, then Say " See Cashier To use Card"

Happenedd Quite a lot of times, and the problem is it Also "Makan" partially of my CL If i didn't even Set a Limit (ard RM200, DDepending on stations)

Imagine 3 times Fail on the Smiles Card Authentication, what will happen...

They Should have Do it like the Petronas, where pluggin the Mesra card, if cannot Verify, Try again, Not.... Like Reject your Whole ordder...+_+"

THIS IS CONFIRMED - YOUR SMILES CARD PROBLEM, NOT AMEX! notworthy.gif

i faced this before, change new smiles card, problem solved icon_rolleyes.gif

u can transfer points between cards (using form).
but what i did was redeem all the points from old card till finish (last is 300 = use at mart) laugh.gif

refer to my reply above ~

The PROBLEM is not because of AMEX not accepting @ Pump, and yea it's My SMILES problem

The problem is AMEX aren't really accepted on Counter, Replying to erry-'s message of asking us to swipe inside, where 8 out of 10 station's don't accept AMEX Swipes INSIDE the Counter

+ I Never say it's AMEX problem, i have Said that it's the Smiles that makes my Pumping "sales Canceled", despite it has been approved, so yea, it's Smiles Card pRoblem...

What i am saying is where if you wanna pay using AMEX THROUGH COUNTER, MOSTLY not accepted... only through Pump.

So if Unfortunately you meet with a faulty C.C. Terminal @ pump, Don't bother trying to swipe your AMEX inside the counter, change other pumps.

I think you guys need better Reading >.< I Did say properly it only rejected my sales After C.C. Approval.. just blame myself that i wanna the Point also, AMEX Point not enough >.<

So if you don't have smiles, then you don't have this problem, only when your smiles Card is Acting Weird, then mayb... Try again? biggrin.gif
